The Death Of T. E. Carson.

But little remains to be said beside
what was stated in The TINES last
week concerning the drowning of
Mr.. Carson, except TO say that the
body was recovered Wednesday
about 4 p. m.
From the time his death was known
until the remains We're found the ex-
element ran high, and the news of
the recovery spread from mouth to
mouth quickly. For seven days, and
part of the nights, the neighbors and
friends from this city worked heroic
ally to find the dead, and their search
was rewarded as above stated by
finding Mr.. Carson frozen to piece
of ice on the west shore oil the river
about 10 rods from where it is sup.
posed he fell in, and about 20 rods
below the school house. The water
was about two feet deep and very
still.
Imme diately after finding the body
Coroner William p. Steadman i'm
panelled the following jury: Myron
Bignall, Ingram Dennison, David
Smith, George ]. Splitter, John Farver
and ID. Blair, and viewed the remains
and adjourned until 9 o'clock Thurs
day, when the following testimony in
substance was taken:
FRANK r. RICHARDS.
Was present when Mr.. Carson S
body was found in the Shiawassee
river Wednesday afternoon about
four o'clock; found body about half
way between school house and the
house Of Mr.. Smith, on the west side
of the river, frozen to cake Of ice
about four feet square, face down;
the cake of ice to which he was frozen
had foated down the strean and was
under the main body Of ice; after
blasting off main ice we pryed up the
piece that floated down stream, and
saw Mr.. Carson's foot come up; at
this time Harry Dunbar, Ingram
Dennison and myself we're working
on the ice; was present when his
body was taken out and saw his face
was bruised.

1t looks now us if the president, who
intends running about amuck this fall,
will condescend to visit this vast terri
tory during his travels. The Pioneer
Press of Sunday says: Tie president
has had two or three conversations
with prominent western democrat
regarding Dakota and Dakota affairs
lately, and it is not improbable that the
result of the conversations will be
visit by him to the territory if he
finally concludes to come to st. Paul
and Minneapolis, which is now quite
likely. 1t is not impossible that he
will go to Omaha, and thence up the
river to Sioux City. From there the
route would probably be Canton, Sioux
Falls, Huron, Redfeld, Aberdeen,
Cakes Junction and Bismarck, return
ing by way of Casselton and Fargo,
and possibly Grand Forks, to Mime
apolis and St. Paul. The president is
anxious to see as much of Dakota as
possible and inform himself of the
true state of affairs there politically
and socially; and although the press of
business may cause him to abandon
the thought, it is quite certain that he
is now very favorably impressed with
the plan. The gentleman has kindly
given the Pioneer Press the substance
of his conversation with the president
which will prove of interest to western
readers.
'sIt is true" he said, ''that | have

elements. Those who work patriotic

by a persistant denial that any progress
